Brilliant - congrats Gerrard.
Always thought he was in with a reasonable shout tbh considering the awesome season he's had and the fact that: Lampard (hasnt had as good a season as last year), Cole (improved, but starts too many games from the bench and isnt as influential), Rooney (still able to contest the young pfa player of the year otherwise would have been a major contender), Terry (awesome season but was always gonna be difficult to match his efforts from last year), Henry (went missing over too many of Arsenals away games around xmas).
Anyway its about time Stevie won it...should have won it 03/04 in my mind and has been consistantly excellent for the past 4 years depsite having contract stuff on his mind for much of the period. Made up for him...only the premiership title to come and he's won everything in the game - aside from the world cup but hopefully that'll be added to his cv as well in the summer!!!
